The illusionist packs two tricks,
Carefully placing the ‘i’ before ‘e’, except after ‘c’,
Countless rhymes estranged from its poem,
Encoding a simple meaning into warped confusion.
Crafting a wide angle shot of a marble temple,
Where the fates of the six wives of Henry VIII,
Turned into ornate statues,
Stand on guard outside the grand palace.
The insolence of the high power blades of time,
that make and break human spirit at a cellular level,
Pay a callous homage to these brilliant shadows,
Nicknamed by history; divorced, beheaded, died, divorced,
beheaded, survived.

Impressive …
Thank you very much.
It is sad to know how things ended for these women. Even in today’s world, so many women still suffer and I hope one day soon, it will stop and all women will feel love, joy and appreciation.
Dear Island Traveler, thank you for your kind thoughts and could not agree with you more. A world that sees women merely as an appendage to men, will eventually die itself. Societies that flourish and do well are the ones that meet equal importance to both men and women 🙂
Agreed! I grew up with Fear of Flying and Free to be You and Me, the kids had Title IX and the ERA. I just posted this vintage video. No more being hood ornaments for us, we have come along way….cant wait to see what the future holds. Toni
